Circadian emotion rules my psyche
Despite my willed direction.
Nature, unconfused, despite me,
Wields unrelenting power
Despite my objection.
So, I'm learning

Before its damned authority
Despite my spirits "liberty".
I wither away
On desiccated vine
Umbilical cord un severed
From prenatal virtue -
Denied birth to rebirth
As free agent of the earth.
